This morning, we will discuss some measures of our company's performance that differ from those recognized by GAAP. Reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which we can calculate are contained in the Earnings Release Kit. I encourage you to visit our Investor Relations website to review webcast slides as well as the Earnings Release Kit. Joining today's call are Bob Blue, Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer; Steven Ridge, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and other members of senior management.

Thank you, David, and good morning, everyone. Over the last 24 months since the conclusion of our business review, we've consistently reiterated our focus on 3 principal priorities. First, consistent achievement of our financial commitments. Second, continued achievement of major construction milestones for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. And third, constructive achievement of regulatory outcomes that demonstrate our ability to work cooperatively with regulators and stakeholders to benefit both customers and shareholders. Looking back on 2025, we successfully executed against these guiding priorities and our focus for 2026 is unchanged.

As we execute, we empower our employees to provide the reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy that powers our customers every day. And we position ourselves to continue to deliver on the commitments we made at the conclusion of the business review. Turning first to 2025 results as shown on Slide 5. As the first full year post business review, 2025 was a critical year for demonstrating our ability to produce high-quality earnings and robust credit results consistent with our original guidance.์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ์ˆ˜ํ–‰ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์ง์›๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ๊ถŒํ•œ์„ ๋ถ€์—ฌํ•˜์—ฌ, ๋งค์ผ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ๋™๋ ฅ์„ ๊ณต๊ธ‰ํ•˜๋Š” ์‹ ๋ขฐํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ณ , ํ•ฉ๋ฆฌ์ ์ธ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ ์  ๋” ์ฒญ์ •ํ•œ ์—๋„ˆ์ง€๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋„๋ก ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์‚ฌ์—… ๊ฒ€ํ† (business review)๋ฅผ ๋งˆ์นœ ํ›„ ์•ฝ์†ํ–ˆ๋˜ ์‚ฌํ•ญ๋“ค์„ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ์ดํ–‰ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์ž…์ง€๋ฅผ ๋‹ค์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Therefore, I'm pleased to report that we successfully delivered with full year 2025 operating earnings of $3.42 per share and operating earnings, excluding RNG 45Z credits of $3.33 per share, both above the midpoint of our guidance. I'd also note that full year 2025 GAAP earnings of $3.45 per share were higher than operating EPS. As always, please refer to Schedules 2 and 4 of the Earnings Release Kit for more details. Continuing that theme, we delivered equally strong credit results.๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ธฐ์œ ๋งˆ์Œ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ ๋“œ๋ฆฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„ ์ „์ฒด ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ์˜์—…์ด์ต์€ ์ฃผ๋‹น 3.42๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, RNG 45Z ํฌ๋ ˆ๋”ง์„ ์ œ์™ธํ•œ ์˜์—…์ด์ต์€ ์ฃผ๋‹น 3.33๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘ ์ˆ˜์น˜ ๋ชจ๋‘ ์ €ํฌ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค(์˜ˆ์ƒ์น˜)์˜ ์ค‘๊ฐ„๊ฐ’์„ ์ƒํšŒํ•˜๋Š” ์ˆ˜์ค€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, 2025๋…„ ์ „์ฒด ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ GAAP(์ผ๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ธ์ •๋˜๋Š” ํšŒ๊ณ„์›์น™) ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์ด์ต์€ ์ฃผ๋‹น 3.45๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ, ์˜์—…์ด์ต(EPS)๋ณด๋‹ค ๋†’์•˜๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋Š˜ ๊ทธ๋ ‡๋“ฏ์ด, ๋” ์ž์„ธํ•œ ๋‚ด์šฉ์€ ์‹ค์  ๋ฐœํ‘œ ์ž๋ฃŒ(Earnings Release Kit)์˜ ์Šค์ผ€์ค„ 2์™€ 4๋ฅผ ์ฐธ์กฐํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹ญ์‹œ์˜ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํ๋ฆ„์„ ์ด์–ด๋ฐ›์•„, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์‹ ์šฉ ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ๋„ ๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€๋กœ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์‹ค์ ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Of particular note is our estimate of Moody's full year CFO pre-working capital to debt, which is both nearly 100 basis points above our downgrade threshold and the highest result we've reported for this metric since 2012, 13 years ago. Balance sheet strength is critical given the substantial need for regulated capital investment across our system to meet our customers' growth over the next several years, and our robust 2025 credit results position us well for that future. Turning now to 2026 guidance on Slide 6. We expect 2026 operating earnings per share, excluding RNG 45Z credit income to be between $3.40 and $3.60 per share with a midpoint of $3.50.ํŠนํžˆ ์ฃผ๋ชฉํ•  ๋งŒํ•œ ์ ์€ ๋ฌด๋””์Šค์˜ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์šด์ „์ž๋ณธ ์ „ ํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„ ๋Œ€ ๋ถ€์ฑ„(CFO pre-working capital to debt) ์ถ”์ •์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์‹ ์šฉ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰ ํ•˜ํ–ฅ ์กฐ์ • ๊ธฐ์ค€์ ๋ณด๋‹ค ๊ฑฐ์˜ 100bp(๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ) ๋†’์€ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ด๋ฉฐ, 2012๋…„ ์ดํ›„, ์ฆ‰ 13๋…„ ๋งŒ์— ์ด ์ง€ํ‘œ์—์„œ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋†’์€ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์žฌ๋ฌด ๊ฑด์ „์„ฑ์€ ํ–ฅํ›„ ๋ช‡ ๋…„๊ฐ„ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ถฉ์กฑ์‹œํ‚ค๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ๋‹น์‚ฌ ์‹œ์Šคํ…œ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ๊ทœ์ œ ์ž๋ณธ ํˆฌ์ž๊ฐ€ ํ•„์š”ํ•˜๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ ๋งค์šฐ ์ค‘์š”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•œ 2025๋…„ ์‹ ์šฉ ์‹ค์ ์€ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ฏธ๋ž˜๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ข‹์€ ์œ„์น˜๋ฅผ ์„ ์ ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

As is our standard practice, we're using a range to account for variations from normal weather in our utility service territories. The midpoint represents a 6.1% increase relative to our comparable 2025 guidance midpoint of $3.30 despite 2026 being a double outage year at Millstone, driven by continued strength in sales and higher regulated investment. Our expectations for RNG 45Z income, which we continue to report separately, reflect updated credit scoring and lower production assumptions, which we've been highlighting for a while now. We continue to await final 45Z regulations, but we believe that the guidance incorporates the range of likely outcomes.์ €ํฌ์˜ ํ‘œ์ค€ ๊ด€ํ–‰์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์œ ํ‹ธ๋ฆฌํ‹ฐ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ์ง€์—ญ์˜ ์ •์ƒ์ ์ธ ๋‚ ์”จ ๋ณ€๋™์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ๋ฒ”์œ„๋ฅผ ์‚ฌ์šฉํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘๊ฐ„๊ฐ’์€ 2026๋…„์ด ๋ฐ€์Šคํ†ค(Millstone) ๋ฐœ์ „์†Œ์˜ ์ด์ค‘ ์ •๋น„(double outage) ์—ฐ๋„์ž„์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ , ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๋งค์ถœ ๊ฐ•์„ธ์™€ ๊ทœ์ œ ํˆฌ์ž ์ฆ๊ฐ€์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด, ์ €ํฌ์˜ ๋น„๊ต ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ 2025๋…„ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค ์ค‘๊ฐ„๊ฐ’์ธ 3.30๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋Œ€๋น„ 6.1% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๋ณ„๋„๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” RNG 45Z ์†Œ๋“์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€์น˜๋Š”, ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ด๋ฏธ ํ•œ๋™์•ˆ ๊ฐ•์กฐํ•ด์™”๋˜ ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ๋œ ์‹ ์šฉ ํ‰๊ฐ€(credit scoring)์™€ ํ•˜ํ–ฅ ์กฐ์ •๋œ ์ƒ์‚ฐ ๊ฐ€์ •์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ตœ์ข… 45Z ๊ทœ์ •์„ ๊ณ„์† ๊ธฐ๋‹ค๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์ด๋ฒˆ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๊ฐ€ ์˜ˆ์ƒ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์˜ ๋ฒ”์œ„๋ฅผ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We'll, of course, update our disclosures if and as needed. Taken together, total operating earnings guidance at the midpoint is $3.57 per share. We're also showing credit and dividend guidance for 2026, which are consistent with our previous long-term guidance. As a reminder, we'll revisit our dividend per share growth rate when we achieve a peer-aligned payout ratio.

Bob will cover specific drivers in his prepared remarks, including the differentiated high-quality and low-risk nature of our data center pipeline. We are continuing to observe tangible data points that underscore the real-time nature of this accelerating demand trend. For instance, in 2025, weather-normal sales in the Dominion Energy Virginia LSE increased 5.4% and all of the top 20 peak demand days in the Dominion zone have occurred in the last 14 months.๋ฐฅ์€ ๋ฏธ๋ฆฌ ์ค€๋น„๋œ ๋ฐœ์–ธ์—์„œ ๋‹น์‚ฌ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์„ผํ„ฐ ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ์˜ ์ฐจ๋ณ„ํ™”๋œ ๊ณ ํ’ˆ์งˆ ๋ฐ ์ €์œ„ํ—˜ ํŠน์„ฑ์„ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์ธ ๋™์ธ๋“ค์„ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋˜๋Š” ์ˆ˜์š” ์ถ”์„ธ์˜ ์‹ค์‹œ๊ฐ„ ํŠน์„ฑ์„ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ•˜๋Š” ์‹ค์งˆ์ ์ธ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์ง€ํ‘œ๋“ค์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•์ธํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด, 2025๋…„ Dominion Energy Virginia LSE์˜ ๊ธฐํ›„ ์ •์ƒํ™” ๋งค์ถœ์€ 5.4% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, Dominion ์ง€์—ญ์˜ ์ƒ์œ„ 20๊ฐœ ํ”ผํฌ ์ˆ˜์š”์ผ์€ ๋ชจ๋‘ ์ง€๋‚œ 14๊ฐœ์›” ์ด๋‚ด์— ๋ฐœ์ƒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
As a result, we're seeing the need for incremental investment across our system to ensure continued reliability amid continually growing demand in our service areas, which leads me to our updated capital investment forecast as shown on Slide 8. As we roll forward our outlook, we're increasing our 5-year total capital estimate from $50 billion to approximately $65 billion, representing a 30% increase. We're providing comprehensive and detailed disclosures in the appendix of today's material, so I'll summarize a few key points here.๊ทธ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ, ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ์ง€์—ญ์—์„œ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ์ˆ˜์š” ์†์—์„œ ์‹œ์Šคํ…œ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์‹ ๋ขฐ์„ฑ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ํˆฌ์ž์˜ ํ•„์š”์„ฑ์„ ํ™•์ธํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์Šฌ๋ผ์ด๋“œ 8์— ์ œ์‹œ๋œ ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ๋œ ์ž๋ณธ ํˆฌ์ž ์ „๋ง์œผ๋กœ ์ด์–ด์ง‘๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ–ฅํ›„ ์ „๋ง์„ ์žฌ์กฐ์ •ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ, ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ 5๊ฐœ๋…„ ์ด ์ž๋ณธ ์ถ”์ •์น˜๋ฅผ 500์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ ์•ฝ 650์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ƒํ–ฅ ์กฐ์ •ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 30% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ค๋Š˜ ์ž๋ฃŒ์˜ ๋ถ€๋ก์— ํฌ๊ด„์ ์ด๊ณ  ์ƒ์„ธํ•œ ๊ณต๊ฐœ ์ž๋ฃŒ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋‹ˆ, ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์„œ๋Š” ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์‚ฌํ•ญ๋งŒ ์š”์•ฝํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
First, much of this increase, over 90%, is happening at Dominion Energy Virginia, our largest utility operating company and home to the largest data center market in the world. Second, nearly 2/3 of the updated capital spend will be eligible for recovery, subject to regulatory approval, under rider mechanisms. And third, we've updated the compounded annual growth rate of our investment base to approximately 10%. This capital investment growth is happening across a diverse portfolio of well-developed projects as shown on Slide 9.์ฒซ์งธ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋ถ„์˜ ์ƒ๋‹น ๋ถ€๋ถ„, ์ฆ‰ 90% ์ด์ƒ์ด ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ์œ ํ‹ธ๋ฆฌํ‹ฐ ์šด์˜ ํšŒ์‚ฌ์ด์ž ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์„ผํ„ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ๋ณธ๊ฑฐ์ง€์ธ ๋„๋ฏธ๋‹ˆ์–ธ ์—๋„ˆ์ง€ ๋ฒ„์ง€๋‹ˆ์•„์—์„œ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘˜์งธ, ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ๋œ ์ž๋ณธ ์ง€์ถœ์˜ ๊ฑฐ์˜ 3๋ถ„์˜ 2๊ฐ€ ๊ทœ์ œ ์Šน์ธ ์กฐ๊ฑด์œผ๋กœ ๋ผ์ด๋” ๋ฉ”์ปค๋‹ˆ์ฆ˜์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ํšŒ์ˆ˜ ๋Œ€์ƒ์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์…‹์งธ, ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” ํˆฌ์ž ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์˜ ์—ฐํ‰๊ท  ๋ณตํ•ฉ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ์•ฝ 10%๋กœ ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ž๋ณธ ํˆฌ์ž ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์Šฌ๋ผ์ด๋“œ 9์—์„œ ๋ณด์‹œ๋Š” ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด ์ž˜ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ๋œ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We're seeing continued strength in electric transmission and distribution, and a notable increase in generation, consistent with our most recent integrated resource plans. On gas generation, which includes 2 CTs and 3 CCGTs, we have secured our turbine slots for each project and will provide updates on development and permitting as they progress. The CCGT projects have projected in-service dates of 2032 through 2034. I'd also note that our share of the remaining spend on CVOW represents less than 2% of the updated capital plan. Outside of today's update, we continue to see opportunities for additional investment across the value chain biased towards the early 2030s and beyond.์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ „๋ ฅ ์†ก๋ฐฐ์ „ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๊ฒฌ์กฐ์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ตœ์‹  ํ†ตํ•ฉ ์ž์› ๊ณ„ํš์— ๋ถ€ํ•ฉํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋ฐœ์ „ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋„ ๋ˆˆ์— ๋„๋Š” ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2๊ฐœ์˜ CT์™€ 3๊ฐœ์˜ CCGT๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฐ€์Šค ๋ฐœ์ „ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ์™€ ๊ด€๋ จํ•˜์—ฌ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ฐ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ์˜ ํ„ฐ๋นˆ ์Šฌ๋กฏ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ ๋ฐ ์ธํ—ˆ๊ฐ€ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ƒํ™ฉ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•ด ๋“œ๋ฆด ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด CCGT ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๋“ค์€ 2032๋…„๋ถ€ํ„ฐ 2034๋…„๊นŒ์ง€ ์ƒ์—… ๊ฐ€๋™๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ง๋ถ™์—ฌ, CVOW ๊ด€๋ จ ์ž”์—ฌ ์ง€์ถœ์•ก ์ค‘ ๋‹น์‚ฌ ์ง€๋ถ„์€ ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ๋œ ์ž๋ณธ ๊ณ„ํš์˜ 2% ๋ฏธ๋งŒ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์ ๋„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ค๋Š˜ ๋ฐœํ‘œ๋œ ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ ์™ธ์—๋„, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 2030๋…„๋Œ€ ์ดˆ๋ฐ˜ ์ดํ›„์— ์ค‘์ ์„ ๋‘” ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์‚ฌ์Šฌ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ํˆฌ์ž ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๊ณ„์† ๋ชจ์ƒ‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We'll include those opportunities in future updates as warranted by their development status. A capital update of this size requires a thoughtful approach to both customer affordability and financing. Bob will review our efforts around the former in his prepared remarks. I'll address financing presently. As shown on Slide 10, nearly 60% of our 5-year investing cash flows and projected dividends will be satisfied by internally generated operating cash flows. About 10% will come from net hybrid issuance, which keeps us well below the credit agency prescribed maximums. 10% or so will come from common equity issued via our standing DRIP and ATM programs.ํ•ด๋‹น ๊ธฐํšŒ๋“ค์€ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ ํ˜„ํ™ฉ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ํ–ฅํ›„ ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ ์‹œ ๋ฐ˜์˜๋  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์ •๋„ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์ž๋ณธ ๊ณ„ํš์€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๋ถ€๋‹ด ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ๊ณผ ์ž๊ธˆ ์กฐ๋‹ฌ ๋ชจ๋‘์— ์‹ ์ค‘ํ•œ ์ ‘๊ทผ์ด ํ•„์š”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐฅ์ด ์ค€๋น„๋œ ๋ฐœ์–ธ์—์„œ ์ „์ž์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์„ ๊ฒ€ํ† ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ €๋Š” ์ด์–ด์„œ ์ž๊ธˆ ์กฐ๋‹ฌ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We view this level of programmatic equity as appropriate given our sizable capital investment plan and our commitment to strong investment-grade ratings. And the final roughly 20% will come from long- and short-term debt. I should note that this financing plan will support our robust credit expectations and credit rating targets, consistent with our prior guidance, as shown on Slide 11.

Please recall that given the existing legislative sunset for 45Z credits at the end of 2029, we've always broken RNG 45Z credits out separately, a practice we continue here. As a result, we continue to provide long-term earnings growth guidance on an ex 45Z basis. With all that said, we are reaffirming our existing long-term operating earnings per share guidance of 5% to 7% annually off of the original 2025 guidance midpoint of $3.30 per share. As we've highlighted before, no change to our expectation of variation within that range year-to-year to account for years in which our Millstone Nuclear Power Station experiences refueling outages at both units.2029๋…„ ๋ง์— 45Z ์„ธ์•ก ๊ณต์ œ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํ˜„ํ–‰ ๋ฒ•๋ฅ ์ƒ ์ผ๋ชฐ ๊ธฐํ•œ์ด ์žˆ์Œ์„ ๊ฐ์•ˆํ•˜์—ฌ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ํ•ญ์ƒ ์žฌ์ƒ ์ฒœ์—ฐ๊ฐ€์Šค(RNG) 45Z ์„ธ์•ก ๊ณต์ œ๋ฅผ ๋ณ„๋„๋กœ ๊ตฌ๋ถ„ํ•ด ์™”์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ด€ํ–‰์„ ๊ณ„์† ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 45Z๋ฅผ ์ œ์™ธํ•œ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ์ด์ต ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋ฅผ ๊ณ„์† ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ชจ๋“  ์ ์„ ๊ฐ์•ˆํ•˜์—ฌ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 2025๋…„ ์›๋ž˜ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค ์ค‘๊ฐ„๊ฐ’์ธ ์ฃผ๋‹น 3.30๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ 5%์—์„œ 7%์˜ ๊ธฐ์กด ์žฅ๊ธฐ ์˜์—… ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS) ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋ฅผ ์žฌํ™•์ธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ „์— ๊ฐ•์กฐํ–ˆ๋“ฏ์ด, ์ €ํฌ ๋ฐ€์Šคํ†ค ์›์ž๋ ฅ ๋ฐœ์ „์†Œ์˜ ๋‘ ๊ฐœ ์œ ๋‹› ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ์—ฐ๋ฃŒ ์žฌ์žฅ์ „ ์ค‘๋‹จ์ด ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•˜๋Š” ํ•ด๋ฅผ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ํ•ด๋‹น ๋ฒ”์œ„ ๋‚ด์—์„œ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๋ณ€๋™์„ฑ์ด ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์˜ˆ์ƒ์—๋Š” ๋ณ€ํ•จ์ด ์—†์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
This occurs once every 3 years and normally reduces operating EPS by between $0.08 and $0.10 due to lower sales and higher O&M expenses. We've previously communicated that through our 5-year outlook, we expect annual growth to average around the midpoint of the growth rate range or 6%. However, given improved business fundamentals, which includes more regulated investment, partially offset by headwinds, including lower RNG production, lower future day rate assumptions for our Jones Act-compliant wind turbine installation vessel, Charybdis and higher financing costs, we now expect to achieve the upper half of the 5% to 7% growth rate range starting in 2028.์ด๋Š” 3๋…„์— ํ•œ ๋ฒˆ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ผ๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋งค์ถœ ๊ฐ์†Œ์™€ O&M ๋น„์šฉ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์˜์—… EPS๋ฅผ 0.08๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 0.10๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‚ฌ์ด๋กœ ๊ฐ์†Œ์‹œํ‚ต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์•ž์„œ 5๊ฐœ๋…„ ์ „๋ง์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์ด ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ  ๋ฒ”์œ„์˜ ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ์ง€์ ์ธ 6% ์ˆ˜์ค€์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•œ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๋ฐ” ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ๊ทœ์ œ ํˆฌ์ž ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ๊ฐœ์„ ๋œ ์‚ฌ์—… ํŽ€๋”๋ฉ˜ํ„ธ์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ, RNG ์ƒ์‚ฐ๋Ÿ‰ ๊ฐ์†Œ, ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์กด์Šค๋ฒ•(Jones Act) ์ค€์ˆ˜ ํ’๋ ฅ ํ„ฐ๋นˆ ์„ค์น˜ ์„ ๋ฐ•์ธ Charybdisํ˜ธ์˜ ํ–ฅํ›„ ์ผ์ผ ์š”๊ธˆ(day rate) ๊ฐ€์ •์น˜ ํ•˜ํ–ฅ ์กฐ์ •, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ธˆ์œต ๋น„์šฉ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์™€ ๊ฐ™์€ ์—ญํ’์œผ๋กœ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ์‡„๋˜๊ธฐ๋Š” ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด์ œ 2028๋…„๋ถ€ํ„ฐ 5%์—์„œ 7% ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ  ๋ฒ”์œ„์˜ ์ƒ์œ„ ์ ˆ๋ฐ˜์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Executing on this updated growth bias will require successful regulatory and construction execution, stable financing markets and a thoughtful approach to customer affordability, among other drivers, for which we feel well positioned. In anticipation of the question, let me explain the drivers of the difference between 3% to 4% between our updated rate base and long-term earnings growth guidance. First, approximately 250 basis points is caused by equity dilution. Even with attractive regulatory recovery mechanisms in place, the scale of our capital program requires us to issue on average roughly 2.5% of our market cap annually to fund growth.์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ค‘์‹ฌ ์ „๋žต์„ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์œผ๋กœ ์‹คํ–‰ํ•˜๋ ค๋ฉด, ๋ฌด์—‡๋ณด๋‹ค๋„ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์ธ ๊ทœ์ œ ์ ˆ์ฐจ ์ดํ–‰๊ณผ ๊ฑด์„ค ์ž‘์—…, ์•ˆ์ •์ ์ธ ๊ธˆ์œต ์‹œ์žฅ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๋ถ€๋‹ด ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์‚ฌ๋ ค ๊นŠ์€ ์ ‘๊ทผ ๋ฐฉ์‹์ด ํ•„์š”ํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์š”์ธ๋“ค์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ž˜ ์ค€๋น„๋˜์–ด ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ๋ฆฌ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ๋œ ์š”๊ธˆ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜(rate base)๊ณผ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ์ˆ˜์ต ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค ๊ฐ„์˜ 3%์—์„œ 4% ์ฐจ์ด๊ฐ€ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•˜๋Š” ์ฃผ์š” ์›์ธ๋“ค์„ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ์งธ, ์•ฝ 250bp(๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ)๋Š” ์ง€๋ถ„ ํฌ์„์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค๋ ฅ์ ์ธ ๊ทœ์ œ ํšŒ์ˆ˜ ๋ฉ”์ปค๋‹ˆ์ฆ˜์ด ๋งˆ๋ จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Œ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ , ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์ž๋ณธ ํˆฌ์ž ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ ๊ทœ๋ชจ๊ฐ€ ์›Œ๋‚™ ํฌ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์— ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ž๊ธˆ ์กฐ๋‹ฌ์„ ์œ„ํ•ด ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ํ‰๊ท ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์‹œ๊ฐ€์ด์•ก์˜ ์•ฝ 2.5%๋ฅผ ๋ฐœํ–‰ํ•ด์•ผ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We view this level of steady equity issuance under existing programs as prudent and EPS accretive, and given the magnitude of our capital spending, appropriate to keep our consolidated credit metrics well within the guidelines for our strong credit ratings category. Another driver is increased parent-level interest-related expense, which reflects today's interest rate outlook and increased financing in support of the higher capital plan. And finally, we've reflected the impact of long lead projects, primarily gas generation in the rate base growth through 2030.๊ธฐ์กด ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์— ๋”ฐ๋ฅธ ์ด ์ •๋„ ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ๊พธ์ค€ํ•œ ์ฃผ์‹ ๋ฐœํ–‰์€ ์‹ ์ค‘ํ•˜๋ฉฐ EPS ์ฆ๊ฐ€์— ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ•œ๋‹ค๊ณ  ํŒ๋‹จํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ž๋ณธ ์ง€์ถœ ๊ทœ๋ชจ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ์•ˆํ•  ๋•Œ, ์ด๋Š” ๋†’์€ ์‹ ์šฉ ๋“ฑ๊ธ‰ ์œ ์ง€๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ ๊ฐ€์ด๋“œ๋ผ์ธ ๋‚ด์—์„œ ์—ฐ๊ฒฐ ์‹ ์šฉ ์ง€ํ‘œ๋ฅผ ์ถฉ๋ถ„ํžˆ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ ์ ˆํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Though we don't get the full cash flow of those projects until they enter service in the early 2030s, which is when we begin to collect depreciation and rates, thus stepping up cash flow and actualizing the project's full earnings potential. Before I hand it back to Bob, I'll note that while we are pleased with our 2025 financial performance, it's really all about how we execute going forward. Since the business review, we've seen tailwinds and we've seen some headwinds, but what hasn't changed is our confidence in the plan, which has been built to be appropriately, but also not unreasonably conservative. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Bob.ํ•ด๋‹น ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๋“ค์ด 2030๋…„๋Œ€ ์ดˆ๋ฐ˜์— ์ƒ์—… ๊ฐ€๋™์— ๋“ค์–ด๊ฐ€๊ธฐ ์ „๊นŒ์ง€๋Š” ์™„์ „ํ•œ ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜์ง€ ๋ชปํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ƒ์—… ๊ฐ€๋™์ด ์‹œ์ž‘๋˜๋ฉด ๊ฐ๊ฐ€์ƒ๊ฐ๋น„์™€ ์š”๊ธˆ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ ์ˆ˜์ทจํ•˜๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜์—ฌ ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์ด ์ฆ๋Œ€๋˜๊ณ , ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ์˜ ์™„์ „ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ต ์ž ์žฌ๋ ฅ์„ ์‹คํ˜„ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐฅ์—๊ฒŒ ๋งˆ์ดํฌ๋ฅผ ๋„˜๊ธฐ๊ธฐ ์ „์— ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 2025๋…„ ์žฌ๋ฌด ์„ฑ๊ณผ์— ๋งŒ์กฑํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์ •๋ง ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์€ ์•ž์œผ๋กœ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ์‹คํ–‰ํ•˜๋А๋ƒ์— ๋‹ฌ๋ ค ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‚ฌ์—… ๊ฒ€ํ†  ์ดํ›„, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ˆœํ’๋„ ๊ฒฝํ—˜ํ–ˆ๊ณ  ์—ญํ’๋„ ๊ฒฝํ—˜ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ๋ณ€ํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š์€ ๊ฒƒ์€ ๊ณ„ํš์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ €ํฌ์˜ ํ™•์‹ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๊ณ„ํš์€ ์ ์ ˆํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ๋„ ๋ถˆํ•ฉ๋ฆฌํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š๊ฒŒ ๋ณด์ˆ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ˆ˜๋ฆฝ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ƒ์œผ๋กœ, ๋ฐฅ์—๊ฒŒ ๋งˆ์ดํฌ๋ฅผ ๋„˜๊ธฐ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Thank you, Steven. I'll begin with safety on Slide 14. Our OSHA recordable rate of 0.26 in 2025 was a record for the company, continuing the positive trend from the last 3 years. We also broke a record with our company's lowest Lost Day Restricted Duty rate, which is a safety metric that tends to reflect more serious injuries. But we know that safety is ultimately about people, not numbers. Continuing to focus relentlessly on improving our safety performance is one way we can honor the memory of our colleague, Ryan Barwick, who we lost in an accident last year. I'll start our business update with the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project.

Notably, we're now over 70% complete. We continue to be on track for the delivery of first power to the grid by the end of March. That will represent a remarkable project milestone. General fabrication and installation have gone exceptionally well. Let me provide a few quick examples. We completed installation of the 176 monopiles more quickly than expected. We're ahead of schedule on transition pieces as well with over 70% installed and the remainder at the Portsmouth Marine Terminal. The third and final offshore substation was installed this past Saturday. Commissioning is proceeding as planned. Deepwater export cables are now installed and inter-array cable installation is on track.์ฃผ๋ชฉํ•  ๋งŒํ•œ ์ ์€, ์ €ํฌ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๋Š” ์ด์ œ 70% ์ด์ƒ ์™„๋ฃŒ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 3์›” ๋ง๊นŒ์ง€ ์ „๋ ฅ๋ง์— ์ตœ์ดˆ ์ „๋ ฅ์„ ๊ณต๊ธ‰ํ•˜๋Š” ์ผ์ •์„ ์ˆœ์กฐ๋กญ๊ฒŒ ์ง€ํ‚ค๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ํš๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ ์ด์ •ํ‘œ๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ์ œ์ž‘ ๋ฐ ์„ค์น˜ ์ž‘์—…์€ ๋งค์šฐ ์ˆœ์กฐ๋กญ๊ฒŒ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ๊ฐ„๋‹จํ•œ ์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 176๊ฐœ์˜ ๋ชจ๋…ธํŒŒ์ผ ์„ค์น˜๋ฅผ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ์™„๋ฃŒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠธ๋žœ์ง€์…˜ ํ”ผ์Šค(transition pieces) ๋˜ํ•œ ์˜ˆ์ •๋ณด๋‹ค ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 70% ์ด์ƒ์ด ์„ค์น˜๋˜์—ˆ๊ณ  ๋‚˜๋จธ์ง€๋Š” ํฌ์ธ ๋จธ์Šค ํ•ด์–‘ ํ„ฐ๋ฏธ๋„์— ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์„ธ ๋ฒˆ์งธ์ด์ž ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰ ํ•ด์ƒ ๋ณ€์ „์†Œ๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ ํ† ์š”์ผ์— ์„ค์น˜๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹œ์šด์ „์€ ๊ณ„ํš๋Œ€๋กœ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•ด์ € ์†ก์ „ ์ผ€์ด๋ธ”์€ ์ด์ œ ์„ค์น˜๋˜์—ˆ๊ณ , ์ธํ„ฐ-์–ด๋ ˆ์ด ์ผ€์ด๋ธ” ์„ค์น˜ ๋˜ํ•œ ์ˆœ์กฐ๋กญ๊ฒŒ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
All of the remaining cabling is now fabricated. The majority is landed in Virginia, and onshore work to accept first power is complete. The project budget stands at $11.5 billion, including unused contingency of $155 million. On January 30, we filed our quarterly status report with the State Corporation Commission as well as provided a comprehensive and detailed update on the project's cost and time line on our Investor Relations website. No change to those materials, which we've included in the appendix of today's material.

We're showing the impact of country-specific tariffs through March 2026 and the impact of steel tariffs through completion of project construction in early 2027. Please note, we're reviewing Friday's Supreme Court tariff ruling and will update the budget in the future as appropriate. Finally, let me talk about wind turbine generator progress and timing. We're making excellent progress on fabrication. Around 70% of towers and the cells and 30% of blades have been fabricated. This progress tracks well relative to our schedule.

First, successful completion of the first turbine in January marked a major milestone for CVOW as we demonstrated our ability to safely complete each of the major elements of the overall project. Second, during the first few iterations, we're deliberately moving more slowly in order to ensure we figuratively measure twice and cut once. We view this as prudent construction management, aligned with the lessons we've learned over years of large project construction. Third, since we recommenced turbine installation upon receipt of the preliminary injunction on January 16, we've been navigating winter weather, which has accounted for over a week of downtime.์ฒซ์งธ, 1์›” ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ํ„ฐ๋นˆ์˜ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์ธ ์™„๊ณต์€ CVOW์—๊ฒŒ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ด์ •ํ‘œ๊ฐ€ ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ „์ฒด ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ์˜ ์ฃผ์š” ์š”์†Œ๋“ค์„ ์•ˆ์ „ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์™„๋ฃŒํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ์„ ์ž…์ฆํ–ˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘˜์งธ, ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ๋ช‡ ์ฐจ๋ก€์˜ ๋ฐ˜๋ณต ์ž‘์—… ๋™์•ˆ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋น„์œ ์ ์œผ๋กœ '๋‘ ๋ฒˆ ์žฌ๊ณ  ํ•œ ๋ฒˆ ์ž๋ฅธ๋‹ค'๋Š” ์›์น™์„ ์ง€ํ‚ค๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์˜๋„์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋” ๋А๋ฆฌ๊ฒŒ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด๋ฅผ ์ˆ˜๋…„๊ฐ„์˜ ๋Œ€๊ทœ๋ชจ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ ๊ฑด์„ค ๊ฒฝํ—˜์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์–ป์€ ๊ตํ›ˆ๊ณผ ์ผ์น˜ํ•˜๋Š” ์‹ ์ค‘ํ•œ ๊ฑด์„ค ๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์…‹์งธ, 1์›” 16์ผ ์˜ˆ๋น„ ๊ฐ€์ฒ˜๋ถ„ ๋ช…๋ น์„ ๋ฐ›์€ ํ›„ ํ„ฐ๋นˆ ์„ค์น˜๋ฅผ ์žฌ๊ฐœํ•œ ์ด๋ž˜๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ฒจ์šธ ๋‚ ์”จ์— ๋Œ€์‘ํ•ด ์™”์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์ผ์ฃผ์ผ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ๊ฐ€๋™ ์ค‘๋‹จ ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ๋ฐœ์ƒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Fourth, we needed to pause installation occasionally to refine procedures and equipment as is typical during first time stages of any construction project. Let me provide one meaningful example. After successfully installing the third blade of the first turbine, a human performance error, which was unrelated to Charybdis operations, resulted in damage to the affixed blade. That required us to assess the damage, remove the blade, replace it with a new blade and immediately return to port to offload the damaged blade and reload a new one. That iteration took almost 2 weeks. We'll, of course, learn from this experience and don't expect to see this type of delay repeat itself.๋„ท์งธ๋กœ, ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฑด์„ค ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ์˜ ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์—์„œ ํ”ํžˆ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•˜๋Š” ์ผ์ด์ง€๋งŒ, ์ ˆ์ฐจ์™€ ์žฅ๋น„๋ฅผ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์„ค์น˜ ์ž‘์—…์„ ๊ฐ„ํ—์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ค‘๋‹จํ•ด์•ผ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•œ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์˜๋ฏธ ์žˆ๋Š” ์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ํ„ฐ๋นˆ์˜ ์„ธ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ๋ธ”๋ ˆ์ด๋“œ๋ฅผ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์œผ๋กœ ์„ค์น˜ํ•œ ํ›„, Charybdis ์šด์˜๊ณผ๋Š” ๋ฌด๊ด€ํ•œ ์ธ์  ์˜ค๋ฅ˜๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๋ถ€์ฐฉ๋œ ๋ธ”๋ ˆ์ด๋“œ๊ฐ€ ์†์ƒ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์†์ƒ ์ •๋„๋ฅผ ํ‰๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ , ๋ธ”๋ ˆ์ด๋“œ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ฑฐํ•˜๊ณ , ์ƒˆ ๋ธ”๋ ˆ์ด๋“œ๋กœ ๊ต์ฒดํ•œ ๋‹ค์Œ, ์ฆ‰์‹œ ํ•ญ๊ตฌ๋กœ ๋Œ์•„๊ฐ€ ์†์ƒ๋œ ๋ธ”๋ ˆ์ด๋“œ๋ฅผ ๋‚ด๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ƒˆ ๋ธ”๋ ˆ์ด๋“œ๋ฅผ ๋‹ค์‹œ ์‹ฃ๋Š” ์ž‘์—…์„ ํ•ด์•ผ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๊ณผ์ •์€ ๊ฑฐ์˜ 2์ฃผ๊ฐ€ ์†Œ์š”๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌผ๋ก , ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด ๊ฒฝํ—˜์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ๋ฐฐ์šฐ๊ณ  ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ข…๋ฅ˜์˜ ์ง€์—ฐ์ด ๋‹ค์‹œ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š๋„๋ก ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Therefore, I simply caution against making any conclusive predictions on the project's expected time line solely based on the first iterations of this process. Please note that current project budget includes turbine installation schedule contingency for weather delays through July 2027 as needed, including Charybdis charter costs. As a general rule of thumb, if the project extends beyond that for some reason, and we don't expect it will, we estimate that each additional quarter to complete turbine installation would add between $150 million and $200 million to the project cost, a portion of which would be allocated to our financing partner.๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ, ์ด ๊ณผ์ •์˜ ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ๋‹จ๊ณ„๋งŒ์„ ํ† ๋Œ€๋กœ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ์˜ ์˜ˆ์ƒ ์ผ์ •์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์„ฃ๋ถ€๋ฅธ ํŒ๋‹จ์„ ๋‚ด๋ฆฌ์ง€ ์•Š๋„๋ก ์ฃผ์˜๋ฅผ ๋‹น๋ถ€๋“œ๋ฆฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฐธ๊ณ ๋กœ, ํ˜„์žฌ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ ์˜ˆ์‚ฐ์—๋Š” 2027๋…„ 7์›”๊นŒ์ง€ ํ•„์š”์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ธฐ์ƒ ์•…ํ™”๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ํ„ฐ๋นˆ ์„ค์น˜ ์ผ์ • ์ง€์—ฐ์— ๋Œ€๋น„ํ•œ ์˜ˆ๋น„๋น„๊ฐ€ ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” Charybdis ์šฉ์„  ๋น„์šฉ๋„ ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ผ๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ, ๋งŒ์•ฝ ์–ด๋–ค ์ด์œ ๋กœ๋“  ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๊ฐ€ ๊ทธ ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„์„ ๋„˜์–ด ์—ฐ์žฅ๋  ๊ฒฝ์šฐ (์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ทธ๋Ÿด ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š์ง€๋งŒ), ํ„ฐ๋นˆ ์„ค์น˜ ์™„๋ฃŒ์— ํ•„์š”ํ•œ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋‹น ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ ๋น„์šฉ์ด 1์–ต 5์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 2์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ถ”์ •ํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด ์ค‘ ์ผ๋ถ€๋Š” ์ €ํฌ ๊ธˆ์œต ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์—๊ฒŒ ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„๋  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We'll include data from additional installation iterations in future quarterly updates. Turning to Slide 16. As Steven previewed, we view customer affordability as central to our public service obligation. And accordingly, we have a long record of maintaining competitive rates, which compare favorably to the national average. Our current customer rates at both DEV and DESC continue to be lower than the national average, 4% and 12%, respectively. And going forward, we expect to see typical residential rates increasing by a compound annual growth rate of around 2.6% and 2.8% at DEV and DESC, respectively.ํ–ฅํ›„ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ณ„ ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ์—๋Š” ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์„ค์น˜ ๋ฐ˜๋ณต ์ž‘์—…์—์„œ ์–ป์€ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Additionally, as shown on Slide 17, DEV and DESC's average residential electric customer bills as a percentage of median household income have improved by 7% and 29% more than the national electric utility average, respectively, since 2014. We recognize though that customers are feeling the pressure of higher costs for housing, groceries and other essentials, including their electric bill. We have a number of programs designed to help our customers manage their electric bills, including budget billing, energy savings programs and financial assistance programs such as EnergyShare.๋˜ํ•œ, ์Šฌ๋ผ์ด๋“œ 17์—์„œ ๋ณด์‹œ๋Š” ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, DEV์™€ DESC์˜ ํ‰๊ท  ์ฃผ๊ฑฐ์šฉ ์ „๊ธฐ ์š”๊ธˆ์ด ๊ฐ€๊ตฌ ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ์†Œ๋“์—์„œ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š” ๋น„์œจ์€ 2014๋…„ ์ด๋ž˜๋กœ ์ „๊ตญ ์ „๋ ฅ ํšŒ์‚ฌ ํ‰๊ท ๋ณด๋‹ค ๊ฐ๊ฐ 7%, 29% ๋” ๊ฐœ์„ ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ์ฃผ๊ฑฐ๋น„, ์‹๋ฃŒํ’ˆ๋น„ ๋“ฑ ํ•„์ˆ˜ํ’ˆ์˜ ๋น„์šฉ ์ƒ์Šน์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ์••๋ฐ•์„ ๋А๋ผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ „๊ธฐ ์š”๊ธˆ๋„ ํฌํ•จ๋œ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ์ธ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ์ „๊ธฐ ์š”๊ธˆ์„ ํšจ์œจ์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ด€๋ฆฌํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ๋•๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์„ ์šด์˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๊ท ๋“ฑ ๋ถ„ํ•  ๋‚ฉ๋ถ€ ์ œ๋„, ์—๋„ˆ์ง€ ์ ˆ์•ฝ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  EnergyShare์™€ ๊ฐ™์€ ์žฌ์ • ์ง€์› ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ ๋“ฑ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Late last year, we also launched a new online platform to put all of our programs in one place so customers can more easily find the best options to meet their needs. Furthermore, our recently approved large load provisions ensure that our smaller customers aren't at risk of subsidizing our largest customer classes. We also work continuously to improve the efficiency of our operations while meeting high customer service standards and reliability needs. In recent years, we've driven out costs through improved processes, innovative use of technology and other best practice initiatives.์ž‘๋…„ ๋ง, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ํ•„์š”์— ๋งž๋Š” ์ตœ์ ์˜ ์˜ต์…˜์„ ๋” ์‰ฝ๊ฒŒ ์ฐพ์„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ๋ชจ๋“  ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์„ ํ•œ๊ณณ์— ๋ชจ์•„๋‘” ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์˜จ๋ผ์ธ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์„ ์ถœ์‹œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์ตœ๊ทผ ์Šน์ธ๋œ ์ €ํฌ์˜ ๋Œ€๊ทœ๋ชจ ๋ถ€ํ•˜ ์กฐํ•ญ์€ ์†Œ๊ทœ๋ชจ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๊ณ„์ธต์— ๋ณด์กฐ๊ธˆ์„ ์ง€๊ธ‰ํ•˜๋Š” ์œ„ํ—˜์„ ๋ฐฉ์ง€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๋˜ํ•œ ๋†’์€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ๊ธฐ์ค€๊ณผ ์‹ ๋ขฐ์„ฑ ์š”๊ตฌ๋ฅผ ์ถฉ์กฑํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์šด์˜ ํšจ์œจ์„ฑ์„ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋…ธ๋ ฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ตœ๊ทผ ๋ช‡ ๋…„๊ฐ„, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ฐœ์„ ๋œ ํ”„๋กœ์„ธ์Šค, ํ˜์‹ ์ ์ธ ๊ธฐ์ˆ  ํ™œ์šฉ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ธฐํƒ€ ๋ชจ๋ฒ” ์‚ฌ๋ก€ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๋น„์šฉ์„ ์ ˆ๊ฐํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
As shown on Slide 18, based on the most recent data filed with FERC, we have a proven track record of being one of the most efficient companies for the benefit of our customers in the industry. We're focused on continuing to drive down O&M costs across all of our segments. Looking ahead, we're intently focused on ensuring our service isn't just reliable, but that it remains affordable as well. Now I'll turn to business updates. Steven provided a brief overview of sales growth trends. Let me offer some specific comments on our data center customers. On Slide 19, we've updated our typical disclosure around the data center pipeline.์Šฌ๋ผ์ด๋“œ 18์—์„œ ๋ณด์‹œ๋Š” ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, FERC์— ์ œ์ถœ๋œ ์ตœ์‹  ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์œผ๋กœ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์—…๊ณ„์—์„œ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ํ˜œํƒ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํšจ์œจ์ ์ธ ๊ธฐ์—… ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜๋กœ์„œ ์ž…์ฆ๋œ ์‹ค์ ์„ ๋ณด์œ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๋ชจ๋“  ์‚ฌ์—… ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ O&M ๋น„์šฉ์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ ˆ๊ฐํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ–ฅํ›„ ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์„œ๋น„์Šค๊ฐ€ ๋‹จ์ˆœํžˆ ์‹ ๋ขฐํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„ ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ, ํ•ฉ๋ฆฌ์ ์ธ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๋„๋ก ํ™•์‹คํžˆ ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ „๋…ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We now have over 48 gigawatts in various stages of contracting as of December 2025, which compares to around 47 gigawatts as of September, an increase of approximately 1.4 gigawatts or 3%. As a reminder, these contracts are broken into Substation Engineering Letters of Authorization, Construction Letters of Authorization and Electrical Service Agreements. As customers move from the first to the last, the cost commitment and obligation by the customer increase. Starting in January 2027, large load customers with demand of 25 megawatts or greater will be subject to minimum demand charges.์ €ํฌ๋Š” ํ˜„์žฌ 2025๋…„ 12์›” ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ๊ณ„์•ฝ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์— ์žˆ๋Š” 48๊ธฐ๊ฐ€์™€ํŠธ ์ด์ƒ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” 9์›” ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์•ฝ 47๊ธฐ๊ฐ€์™€ํŠธ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์•ฝ 1.4๊ธฐ๊ฐ€์™€ํŠธ, ์ฆ‰ 3% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ•œ๋ฒˆ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ณ„์•ฝ๋“ค์€ ๋ณ€์ „์†Œ ์—”์ง€๋‹ˆ์–ด๋ง ์Šน์ธ์„œ(Substation Engineering Letters of Authorization), ๊ฑด์„ค ์Šน์ธ์„œ(Construction Letters of Authorization), ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ „๊ธฐ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ๊ณ„์•ฝ(Electrical Service Agreements)์œผ๋กœ ๋‚˜๋‰ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ์ฒซ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์—์„œ ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰ ๋‹จ๊ณ„๋กœ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ, ๊ณ ๊ฐ์˜ ๋น„์šฉ ๋ถ€๋‹ด๊ณผ ์˜๋ฌด๊ฐ€ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2027๋…„ 1์›”๋ถ€ํ„ฐ๋Š” 25๋ฉ”๊ฐ€์™€ํŠธ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ์ˆ˜์š”๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์ง„ ๋Œ€๊ทœ๋ชจ ๋ถ€ํ•˜ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์—๊ฒŒ ์ตœ์†Œ ์ˆ˜์š” ์š”๊ธˆ(minimum demand charges)์ด ๋ถ€๊ณผ๋  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
And a customer that signs a new ESA will also be subject to [ 4-year ] contract terms with exit fees and enhanced collateral requirements. We believe that we have a differentiated opportunity around our data center customers. Our projected demand growth is high quality, as shown on Slide 20, because the forecasts that drive our planned capital spend are based on insights gained from over a decade of meter-level historical data, long-term working relationships with some of the largest and most sophisticated technology companies in the world and validation from 20-plus gigawatts of signed ESA and CLOA contracts.์‹ ๊ทœ ESA๋ฅผ ์ฒด๊ฒฐํ•˜๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ์€ ํ•ด์ง€ ์ˆ˜์ˆ˜๋ฃŒ์™€ ๊ฐ•ํ™”๋œ ๋‹ด๋ณด ์š”๊ฑด์ด ํฌํ•จ๋œ 4๋…„ ๊ณ„์•ฝ ์กฐ๊ฑด์˜ ์ ์šฉ์„ ๋ฐ›๊ฒŒ ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ์„ผํ„ฐ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ์ฐจ๋ณ„ํ™”๋œ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์Šฌ๋ผ์ด๋“œ 20์—์„œ ๋ณด์‹œ๋Š” ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์˜ˆ์ƒ ์ˆ˜์š” ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋Š” ๊ณ ํ’ˆ์งˆ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ๊ณ„ํš๋œ ์ž๋ณธ ์ง€์ถœ์„ ์ด๋„๋Š” ์˜ˆ์ธก์ด 10๋…„ ์ด์ƒ ์ถ•์ ๋œ ๋ฏธํ„ฐ ๋‹จ์œ„ ๊ณผ๊ฑฐ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ์—์„œ ์–ป์€ ํ†ต์ฐฐ๋ ฅ, ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฌ๊ณ  ์ •๊ตํ•œ ๊ธฐ์ˆ  ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค๊ณผ์˜ ์žฅ๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ์—…๋ฌด ๊ด€๊ณ„, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  20๊ธฐ๊ฐ€์™€ํŠธ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ์ฒด๊ฒฐ๋œ ESA ๋ฐ CLOA ๊ณ„์•ฝ์„ ํ†ตํ•œ ๊ฒ€์ฆ์— ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
The vast majority of our demand growth is driven by steady and consistent batches of cloud and inference data center modules, which we view as lower risk and produces consistent results over time. This strategy has worked well for us for years and helps limit our reliance on any single project or customer. Let me spend a few minutes on Slide 21 because I want to make sure everyone understands its significance. As the slide shows, our forecasted data center demand through 2045 is more than covered by existing signed ESAs and CLOAs. That means we do not forecast demand based on SELOAs.๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์ˆ˜์š” ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋Š” ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„ ๊พธ์ค€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์ผ๊ด€๋œ ํด๋ผ์šฐ๋“œ ๋ฐ ์ถ”๋ก  ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์„ผํ„ฐ ๋ชจ๋“ˆ ๋ฌผ๋Ÿ‰์— ์˜ํ•ด ์ฃผ๋„๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์œ„ํ—˜๋„๊ฐ€ ๋‚ฎ๊ณ  ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ์ง€๋‚จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ๊พธ์ค€ํ•œ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋‚ธ๋‹ค๊ณ  ํ‰๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ „๋žต์€ ์ˆ˜๋…„๊ฐ„ ๋‹น์‚ฌ์— ํšจ๊ณผ์ ์ด์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํŠน์ • ๋‹จ์ผ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๋‚˜ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์˜์กด๋„๋ฅผ ์ œํ•œํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ๋„์›€์ด ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

That also means that by working diligently through the existing backlog and connecting the existing projects under construction, we'd achieve our demand forecast for the next approximately 20 years. Again, we believe this makes our data center market less risky and highly realistic. All that said, we're, of course, working as quickly as possible to work through our queue because we know these investments are of vital importance to our data center customers. We welcome them to our system and recognize the important contribution they make to national, state and community success.์ด๋Š” ๋˜ํ•œ ๊ธฐ์กด ๋ฐฑ๋กœ๊ทธ(backlog)๋ฅผ ๋ถ€์ง€๋Ÿฐํžˆ ์ฒ˜๋ฆฌํ•˜๊ณ  ํ˜„์žฌ ๊ฑด์„ค ์ค‘์ธ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๋“ค์„ ์—ฐ๊ฒฐํ•จ์œผ๋กœ์จ, ํ–ฅํ›„ ์•ฝ 20๋…„๊ฐ„์˜ ์ˆ˜์š” ์˜ˆ์ธก์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Œ์„ ์˜๋ฏธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์žฌ์ฐจ ๊ฐ•์กฐํ•˜๊ฑด๋Œ€, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ ์ด ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์„ผํ„ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ์„ ๋œ ์œ„ํ—˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ๋งค์šฐ ํ˜„์‹ค์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋งŒ๋“ ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We're developing resources across distribution, transmission and generation to ensure we meet this critical need on a timely basis, while also taking active steps to safeguard all of our customers from the risk of paying more than their fair share for reliable and affordable electric service. In Virginia specifically, residential rates have averaged 9% below the national average, even as data center load has grown at a 20% CAGR since 2016, as shown on Slide 22.

And while just one data point, it's worth noting that for the ninth consecutive year, our economic development team has been recognized as a top utility for economic development. 2 projects were highlighted, including Eli Lilly and Hampton Lumber. In September 2025, Eli Lilly and Company announced plans for a $5 billion state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that will generate 650 high-wage jobs and 1,800 construction jobs in Virginia. In addition, Allendale, South Carolina welcomed Hampton Lumber in July when the company established its first East Coast sawmill, bringing more than 125 new jobs to the region. We're proud to contribute to these outcomes.๋‹จ ํ•˜๋‚˜์˜ ์‚ฌ๋ก€์ด๊ธด ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์ €ํฌ ๊ฒฝ์ œ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœํŒ€์ด 9๋…„ ์—ฐ์† ๊ฒฝ์ œ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ ๋ถ„์•ผ ์ตœ๊ณ ์˜ ์œ ํ‹ธ๋ฆฌํ‹ฐ ๊ธฐ์—…์œผ๋กœ ์„ ์ •๋˜์—ˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Projects we supported in the last year alone will create more than 3,600 jobs and attract $7.4 billion in new capital investment, delivering lasting value and strong community growth across our service territory. Finally, let me share a few additional business updates as shown on Slide 23. First, on November 25, the Virginia State Corporation Commission published its final order in the 2025 biennial review proceeding. The commission's order approved the large load provisions I discussed earlier, designed to ensure continued fair allocation of costs among customers and to mitigate the risk of stranded assets.์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ง€๋‚œ ํ•œ ํ•ด ๋™์•ˆ ์ง€์›ํ•œ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๋งŒ ํ•ด๋„ 3,600๊ฐœ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ์ผ์ž๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ•˜๊ณ  74์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์‹ ๊ทœ ์ž๋ณธ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์œ ์น˜ํ•˜์—ฌ, ์ €ํฌ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ์ง€์—ญ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๊ฐ€์น˜์™€ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ง€์—ญ์‚ฌํšŒ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Also on November 25, the Virginia SCC approved the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity and rider for the Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center, an approximately 1 gigawatt gas-fired electric generating facility expected to cost approximately $1.5 billion and be placed in service in 2029. In its order, the commission highlighted that the project addresses an imminent reliability threat in accordance with the public interest. On February 12, the commission affirmed their order and denied a petition for reconsideration.11์›” 25์ผ์—๋Š” ๋ฒ„์ง€๋‹ˆ์•„ ์ฃผ ๊ทœ์ œ์œ„์›ํšŒ(Virginia SCC)๊ฐ€ ์ฒด์Šคํ„ฐํ•„๋“œ ์—๋„ˆ์ง€ ์‹ ๋ขฐ์„ฑ ์„ผํ„ฐ(Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center)์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ณต์ต์‚ฌ์—… ์ธํ—ˆ๊ฐ€ ๋ฐ ๋ถ€๋Œ€ ์กฐํ•ญ์„ ์Šน์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์‹œ์„ค์€ ์•ฝ 1๊ธฐ๊ฐ€์™€ํŠธ(GW) ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ๊ฐ€์Šค ๋ฐœ์ „ ์‹œ์„ค๋กœ, ์•ฝ 15์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ๋น„์šฉ์ด ์†Œ์š”๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋ฉฐ 2029๋…„์— ์ƒ์—… ์šด์ „์„ ๊ฐœ์‹œํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์œ„์›ํšŒ๋Š” ๊ฒฐ์ •๋ฌธ์—์„œ ์ด ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๊ฐ€ ๊ณต์ต์— ๋ถ€ํ•ฉํ•˜์—ฌ ์ž„๋ฐ•ํ•œ ์ „๋ ฅ ๊ณต๊ธ‰ ์•ˆ์ •์„ฑ ์œ„ํ˜‘์„ ํ•ด๊ฒฐํ•œ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๊ฐ•์กฐํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2์›” 12์ผ, ์œ„์›ํšŒ๋Š” ํ•ด๋‹น ๊ฒฐ์ •์„ ํ™•์ •ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žฌ์‹ฌ ์š”์ฒญ์„ ๊ธฐ๊ฐํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

This represents the largest proposed investment by Dominion Energy Virginia since PJM began its open window process. Next, in South Carolina, DESC filed an electric rate case application and testimony with the Public Service Commission of South Carolina on January 2 to support the $1.4 billion invested in the South Carolina electric system since 2023 and ensure that we can continue meeting customer demand safely, reliably and efficiently.2์›” 13์ผ, PJM์€ ์ตœ์‹  ์†ก์ „๋ง ๊ณต๋ชจ ์ ˆ์ฐจ์˜ ์ตœ์ข… ์„ ์ • ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ฐœํ‘œํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 2032๋…„๊นŒ์ง€ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ๊ฐ€๋™ ๊ฐœ์‹œ์ผ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง„ ์ด 50์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค๋ฅผ ์ˆ˜์ฃผํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” PJM์ด ์†ก์ „๋ง ๊ณต๋ชจ ์ ˆ์ฐจ๋ฅผ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•œ ์ด๋ž˜ Dominion Energy Virginia๊ฐ€ ์ œ์•ˆํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž ์ค‘ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์— ํ•ด๋‹นํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค์Œ์œผ๋กœ, ์‚ฌ์šฐ์Šค์บ๋กค๋ผ์ด๋‚˜์—์„œ๋Š” DESC๊ฐ€ 1์›” 2์ผ ์‚ฌ์šฐ์Šค์บ๋กค๋ผ์ด๋‚˜ ๊ณต๊ณต ์„œ๋น„์Šค ์œ„์›ํšŒ์— ์ „๊ธฐ ์š”๊ธˆ ์กฐ์ • ์‹ ์ฒญ์„œ ๋ฐ ์ฆ์–ธ์„ ์ œ์ถœํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” 2023๋…„ ์ดํ›„ ์‚ฌ์šฐ์Šค์บ๋กค๋ผ์ด๋‚˜ ์ „๋ ฅ ์‹œ์Šคํ…œ์— ํˆฌ์ž๋œ 14์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ •๋‹น์„ฑ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ณ , ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ˆ˜์š”๋ฅผ ์•ˆ์ „ํ•˜๊ณ , ์•ˆ์ •์ ์ด๋ฉฐ, ํšจ์œจ์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ณ„์† ์ถฉ์กฑ์‹œํ‚ฌ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ๋ณด์žฅํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•จ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We expect a decision in June with rates effective in July. Finally, on Millstone. The facility continues to provide over 90% of Connecticut's carbon-free electricity and 55% of its output is under a fixed price contract through late 2029. The remaining output continues to be significantly derisked by our hedging program, which we've updated in the appendix of today's materials. During 2025, Millstone performed well and achieved a capacity factor of over 91%, aligning with our expectations of exemplary performance and reflecting our unwavering commitment to safety and best-in-class operations.์ €ํฌ๋Š” 6์›”์— ๊ฒฐ์ •์ด ๋‚ด๋ ค์ง€๊ณ  ์š”์œจ์€ 7์›”๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ์ ์šฉ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

In January, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection issued a zero carbon energy request for proposals for which Millstone is eligible. Bids are due in the RFP in March. The Connecticut RFP process also intends to coordinate bid evaluation in conjunction with other New England states. In addition to state-sponsored procurement, we continue to evaluate the prospect of supporting incremental data center activity as well.

We remain focused on achieving a constructive outcome for the facility, and we'll continue to provide updates as things develop. With that, let me summarize our remarks on Slide 24. We achieved record-setting safety performance as measured by both OSHA and LD/RD rates last year. We achieved 2025 operating earnings above the midpoint of our guidance and delivered our strongest credit results in the last several years. We initiated our 2026 operating earnings guidance range and reaffirmed our existing long-term operating earnings per share growth rate of 5% to 7% with a bias to the upper half of that range 2028 to 2030.

Shahriar Pourreza: Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Research Division Just a quick question on the '26 and '27 EPS. Just the CapEx is up about $3 billion in those years versus the previous guide and rate base in Virginia is considerably higher. Can you just maybe talk about some of the puts and takes that get you to a 6% growth rate in those years versus the upper half of the range? I mean the updated trajectory is kind of modestly below consensus. I guess, where is there conservatism in plan? Anything to call out? I think Millstone comes to mind there, but just a little bit more detail.**Shahriar Pourreza:** 2026๋…„๊ณผ 2027๋…„ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS)์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ฐ„๋‹จํžˆ ์—ฌ์ญค๋ณด๊ณ  ์‹ถ์€ ์ ์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•ด๋‹น ์—ฐ๋„์˜ ์ž๋ณธ์  ์ง€์ถœ(CapEx)์ด ์ด์ „ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค(guidance) ๋Œ€๋น„ ์•ฝ 30์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ๊ณ , ๋ฒ„์ง€๋‹ˆ์•„์˜ ์š”๊ธˆ ๊ธฐ์ค€(rate base) ๋˜ํ•œ ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ๋†’์•„์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿผ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  ํ•ด๋‹น ์—ฐ๋„์— ์ œ์‹œ๋œ ๋ฒ”์œ„์˜ ์ƒ๋‹จ์ด ์•„๋‹Œ 6% ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•˜๋Š” ์ฃผ์š” ์ƒ์‡„ ์š”์ธ(puts and takes)๋“ค์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด์ฃผ์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„๊นŒ์š”? ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ๋œ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ถค์ ์ด ์ปจ์„ผ์„œ์Šค(consensus)๋ณด๋‹ค ๋‹ค์†Œ ๋‚ฎ์€ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ธ๋ฐ์š”, ๊ณ„ํš์— ์–ด๋–ค ๋ถ€๋ถ„์— ๋ณด์ˆ˜์ ์ธ ๊ด€์ ์ด ๋ฐ˜์˜๋˜์–ด ์žˆ๋Š”์ง€ ๊ถ๊ธˆํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠน๋ณ„ํžˆ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•  ๋งŒํ•œ ์‚ฌํ•ญ์ด ์žˆ์„๊นŒ์š”? ๋ฐ€์Šคํ†ค(Millstone)์ด ๊ด€๋ จ์ด ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ ๊ฐ™๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•œ๋ฐ, ์กฐ๊ธˆ ๋” ์ž์„ธํ•œ ๋‚ด์šฉ์„ ์•Œ๋ ค์ฃผ์‹œ๋ฉด ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•˜๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Steven Ridge: Executive VP & CFO Yes, Shar. There's a couple of things there. So let me hit on them. And if I miss anything, let me know. You mentioned a little bit about consensus, aware of that thought. Keep in mind, prior consensus would have included $0.10 for 45Z credit. We've reduced that to $0.07, which I think on 2028 basis accounts for about half of the $0.06 delta. We've always broken 45Z out. If you look at the sum of the parts, folks are generally ascribing a fairly insignificant amount of value to that. And the reason we've done that since the beginning of the review is because we view it, a, as having a legislative sunset; and b, not truly indicative of the core operating earnings power of the base utility business. So today, we announced a 6% increase year-over-year on that base business. We increased the longer-term guidance to the upper half in '28 through '30. I think it should be interpreted very much as a bullish message. And with regard to Millstone, we won't, today, be giving any sort of specific color around what we've assumed in that upper half guidance as it relates to the pricing on Millstone post expiration of the PPA in August of '29. But as we have always approached our financial planning subsequent to the business review, I would just say we've been appropriately conservative. And we expect to have some clarity around the outcome of the RFP towards the back half -- end of this year. And at that point, we can give people a little bit more information around the ultimate trajectory of Millstone and if and whether that will change the trajectory towards the back half of our plan. And then I think finally, starting with or ending with what you started, which is the trajectory. Look, we see most of these tailwinds manifesting most strongly towards the back end of our plan. That's been a consistent message we've delivered to investors for the last several months. That has not changed. We see rate base investment certainly in capital over the 5-year plan, but we get the strong value for that towards the back end. And so I would just say we're very comfortable with maintaining sort of original guidance '26 to '27. Our motto is to underpromise and overdeliver, and that's what we anticipate to continue to do going forward.**Steven Ridge:** ๋„ค, ์ƒค๋ฅด. ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆด ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์„ค๋ช…๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜น์‹œ ๋น ๋œจ๋ฆฐ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ด ์žˆ๋‹ค๋ฉด ๋ง์”€ํ•ด์ฃผ์„ธ์š”.

Shahriar Pourreza: Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Research Division Got it. That's actually super helpful. I appreciate that. And then just lastly, as we're thinking about the data center ramp with the updated slides, like on 21, with the ESAs and the higher CapEx outlook, are you assuming sort of minimum take-or-pays in the current plans so if the data center customer ramps quicker and consumes more than the minimum over time, would that be accretive to the current plan?

Robert Blue: President, CEO & Chairman of the Board Yes, Shar. I mean our data center expectations are based on years of experience. I think as we have described, we're not forecasting based on load letters or inquiries. We're actually showing precisely what we expect coincident demand to be. And as we made clear in our opening remarks, that's being driven by our current ESAs out for a decade. And then you start getting -- the CLOAs get you above our current projections by 2045. If they ramp faster, then we'll address that, obviously. But we've got a lot of experience with the rate at which these companies ramp.

Steven Ridge: Executive VP & CFO And Shar, I'd just add that the name of the game for us is sales, yes, that's very positive. But really, it's the investment across the low risk regulated business that supports that sales, which ultimately is going to be driving the long-term earnings growth and credit strength in the name. As you know, we forecast forward in our base biennial in Virginia that includes sales volumes. We do it in our riders as well. So for us, we assume they're going to ramp based on historical performance. That's largely above the minimums, of course. But for us, the big picture driver is the ability to deploy capital on behalf of our customers, which ultimately will drive the long-term financial performance.**Steven Ridge:** ์ €ํฌ์—๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์€ ๋งค์ถœ(sales)์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋„ค, ์ด๋Š” ๋งค์šฐ ๊ธ์ •์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์‚ฌ์‹ค์ƒ, ๊ทธ ๋งค์ถœ์„ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ ์ €์œ„ํ—˜ ๊ทœ์ œ ์‚ฌ์—…(low risk regulated business) ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์นœ ํˆฌ์ž์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ถ๊ทน์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ด๋Š” ์žฅ๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ์ˆ˜์ต ์„ฑ์žฅ(long-term earnings growth)๊ณผ ๊ธฐ์—…์˜ ์‹ ์šฉ๋„(credit strength)๋ฅผ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Nicholas Campanella: Barclays Bank PLC, Research Division I just wanted to follow-up on the CVOW update. Appreciate all the updates you gave there, especially on the turbine installation progress. Just, you gave this kind of per quarter sensitivity on cost, I believe if it goes past this July '27 time line that you brought up. Just how many -- maybe kind of clearly delineate how many turbines per quarter you're trying to install here to make that? And then my follow-up question on that is if you do have upside risk to the budget, did your financing partners already indicate that they participate alongside you?**Nicholas Campanella:** CVOW ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ์™€ ๊ด€๋ จํ•˜์—ฌ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ ํ„ฐ๋นˆ ์„ค์น˜ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ƒํ™ฉ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋ชจ๋“  ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ์— ๊ฐ์‚ฌ๋“œ๋ฆฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Blue: President, CEO & Chairman of the Board Yes. I'd answer it this way. I mean our expectation is we get the majority in, in '26 and then some into 2027. And as we think about it, we're looking at sort of a 2.25 days per installation. That's over a period of time when the weather is worse, like in the winter it's going to be slower than that. But that's what we would look at in order to hit the schedule that we've laid out. And then on the second part of the question, Stonepeak's been a great partner with us. And we've got the contractual provisions on how we would move forward if it extends into that longer period, which, as I mentioned, we don't expect.**Robert Blue:** ๋„ค. ์ด๋ ‡๊ฒŒ ๋‹ต๋ณ€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 2026๋…„์— ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ๋ฌผ๋Ÿ‰์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ณ , ์ผ๋ถ€๋Š” 2027๋…„๊นŒ์ง€ ์ด์–ด์งˆ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ”๋Š”, ์„ค์น˜๋‹น ์•ฝ 2.25์ผ ์ •๋„๋ฅผ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋‚ ์”จ๊ฐ€ ์ข‹์ง€ ์•Š์€ ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„์„ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ, ์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด ๊ฒจ์šธ์—๋Š” ์ด๋ณด๋‹ค ๋” ๋А๋ ค์งˆ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ œ์‹œํ•œ ์ผ์ •(schedule)์„ ๋งž์ถ”๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ์ด ์ •๋„์˜ ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„์ด ํ•„์š”ํ•˜๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Steven Ridge: Executive VP & CFO Yes, Nick, I think you're hitting on absolutely the right point, which is given the way the regulatory recovery works, sort of amount of capital to be recovered in rate base is at this point effectively fixed. It's at the cap of what was allowed to be socialized to customers. And so changes in installation will largely be EPS neutral in the form of deferrals if we over or underrecover in a certain rate year. There should be some cash impacts associated with that, but that's exactly why we maintain in our internal models a very robust cushion to our existing credit downgrade thresholds is so that if -- in the event something like that happens, and this is just one example, we're well positioned to absorb it and still stay above the downgrade threshold. And then I think with regard to your first question, was that with regard to Stonepeak? Did I understand the first part of your question correctly?**Steven Ridge:** ๋„ค, ๋‹‰, ์•„์ฃผ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ํฌ์ธํŠธ๋ฅผ ์งš์–ด์ฃผ์…จ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทœ์ œ ํšŒ์ˆ˜ ๋ฐฉ์‹(regulatory recovery mechanism)์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ, ์š”๊ธˆ ๊ธฐ์ €(rate base)์—์„œ ํšŒ์ˆ˜๋  ์ž๋ณธ์˜ ์–‘์€ ํ˜„์žฌ ์‚ฌ์‹ค์ƒ ๊ณ ์ •๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ์—๊ฒŒ ์ „๊ฐ€(socialized)ํ•˜๋„๋ก ํ—ˆ์šฉ๋œ ๊ธˆ์•ก์˜ ์ƒํ•œ์„ ์— ๋„๋‹ฌํ•ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Steven Ridge: Executive VP & CFO Yes. I mean everything that we feel confident in executing through the 5 years in the plan, as we've noted in today's script and in prior scripts, we continue to see opportunities for incremental capital to support the customer growth across our systems.

Wolfe Research, LLC: Okay. And then just on 2 other questions, just you mentioned the dividend payout and kind of considering it as you look relative to peers. I think peers have been generally kind of been reducing their payout targets in recent quarters and the like. Is that -- is that something that, thus we'd kind of apply to kind of your thinking on the timing of resuming dividend growth?**Wolfe Research, LLC:** ๋„ค, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์ธ๋ฐ์š”. ๋ฐฐ๋‹น์„ฑํ–ฅ(dividend payout)์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•˜์‹œ๋ฉด์„œ ๋™์ข…์—…๊ณ„(peers)์™€ ๋น„๊ตํ•˜์—ฌ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ณ„์‹œ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์…จ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ œ ์ƒ๊ฐ์—๋Š” ๋™์ข…์—…๊ณ„ ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค์ด ์ตœ๊ทผ ๋ช‡ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ฐฐ๋‹น์„ฑํ–ฅ ๋ชฉํ‘œ์น˜๋ฅผ ์ค„์—ฌ์™”๋˜ ๊ฒƒ ๊ฐ™์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ ์ด ๋ฐฐ๋‹น ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์žฌ๊ฐœํ•˜๋Š” ์‹œ์ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ฒฝ์˜์ง„์˜ ์ƒ๊ฐ์— ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๋Š” ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ผ๊นŒ์š”?
Steven Ridge: Executive VP & CFO Yes. We haven't sort of made a financial -- final financial decision as it relates to the payout ratio. We're certainly aware of the trend you're describing, which is folks bringing the payout ratio as a source of funding for their enlarged capital plan. And that's something certainly we'll take into consideration when we get to that point. You can do the math around the EPS growth rate and the current dividend and probably get a sense that we might be a little bit -- we have a little bit of time to make a final determination as to when and how much we start growing the dividend.**Steven Ridge:** ๋„ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์•„์ง ๋ฐฐ๋‹น์„ฑํ–ฅ(payout ratio)๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ ์ตœ์ข…์ ์ธ ์žฌ๋ฌด์  ๊ฒฐ์ •์„ ๋‚ด๋ฆฐ ๊ฒƒ์€ ์•„๋‹™๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ์ถ”์„ธ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ์ €ํฌ๋„ ๋ถ„๋ช…ํžˆ ์ธ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค์ด ํ™•๋Œ€๋œ ์ž๋ณธ ๊ณ„ํš(capital plan)์˜ ์ž๊ธˆ ์กฐ๋‹ฌ์›์œผ๋กœ์„œ ๋ฐฐ๋‹น์„ฑํ–ฅ์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒฝํ–ฅ์„ ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹œ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด๊ฒ ์ฃ . ๊ทธ ์‹œ์ ์ด ๋˜๋ฉด ์ €ํฌ๋„ ๋ถ„๋ช…ํžˆ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS) ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ๊ณผ ํ˜„์žฌ ๋ฐฐ๋‹น๊ธˆ์„ ๊ณ„์‚ฐํ•ด ๋ณด์‹œ๋ฉด, ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ฐฐ๋‹น์„ ์–ธ์ œ, ์–ผ๋งˆ๋‚˜ ๋Š˜๋ฆฌ๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ• ์ง€์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ตœ์ข… ๊ฒฐ์ •์„ ๋‚ด๋ฆฌ๊ธฐ๊นŒ์ง€๋Š” ์•„์ง ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ์ข€ ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ์ง์ž‘ํ•˜์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Blue: President, CEO & Chairman of the Board Yes. Steve, we're still in the final stages of evaluating technology. We've got, I believe, as you know, authorization in Virginia through a rider to recover costs for small modular reactor development up to a certain point. And we don't have capital in the plan, this 5-year plan for an SMR. If you look at our integrated resource plan, we're still a ways away from when we would expect to be deploying SMRs. As we've discussed before, Virginia is a very pro-nuclear state. We want to make sure that we support that, but we also want to make sure we do it in a way that is respectful of our customers and our balance sheet.**Robert Blue:** ๋„ค, ์Šคํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋‹˜, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์•„์ง ๊ธฐ์ˆ  ํ‰๊ฐ€์˜ ์ตœ์ข… ๋‹จ๊ณ„์— ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•„์‹œ๋‹ค์‹œํ”ผ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๋ฒ„์ง€๋‹ˆ์•„์ฃผ์—์„œ ๋ถ€๋Œ€ ์กฐํ•ญ(rider)์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ํŠน์ • ์‹œ์ ๊นŒ์ง€ ์†Œํ˜• ๋ชจ๋“ˆํ˜• ์›์ž๋กœ(SMR) ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ ๋น„์šฉ์„ ํšŒ์ˆ˜ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์Šน์ธ์„ ๋ฐ›์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Stephen Dโ€™Ambrisi: RBC Capital Markets, Research Division Just had a quick one or maybe 2. Just in terms of 2026 and kind of following on Shar's question, you're able to guide to 6% EPS growth on the operating business for '26 with the inclusion of the Millstone double outage. And so can you just talk a little bit about like effectively what are the positives that are enabling you to grow 6%? And then just like effectively why maybe those don't recur in '27 or why it takes a little bit longer to get there?**Stephen Dโ€™Ambrisi:** ๊ฐ„๋‹จํžˆ ํ•œ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์งˆ๋ฌธ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จํ•˜์—ฌ Shar๋‹˜์˜ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์— ์ด์–ด์„œ ์—ฌ์ญ™๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐ€์Šคํ†ค(Millstone) ์ด์ค‘ ๊ฐ€๋™ ์ค‘๋‹จ(double outage)์„ ํฌํ•จํ•˜๊ณ ๋„ 2026๋…„ ์˜์—… ์‚ฌ์—…(operating business)์—์„œ 6%์˜ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS) ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ์ œ์‹œํ•˜์…จ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด 6% ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ์š”์ธ๋“ค์ด ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ฌด์—‡์ธ์ง€ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹œ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๊นŒ? ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์š”์ธ๋“ค์ด 2027๋…„์—๋Š” ๋ฐ˜๋ณต๋˜์ง€ ์•Š๊ฑฐ๋‚˜, ๋‹ค์‹œ ๊ทธ ์ˆ˜์ค€์— ๋„๋‹ฌํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์™œ ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ๋” ๊ฑธ๋ฆด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š”์ง€์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋„ ๋ง์”€ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹œ๋ฉด ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•˜๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Steven Ridge: Executive VP & CFO Yes, Steve, let me try that again and see if I can be more responsive. In '26, we're getting the benefit of a couple of sort of helpful items. One is the full impact of the biennial rate increase in Virginia and second is a half year impact associated with the South Carolina rate case. So think of it as '26 as sort of a catch-up year because in those jurisdictions prior to going in for those rate reliefs, we would have been underearning. And then because we don't typically go in the next year for additional rate relief, you can see that lag sort of catching up with us a little bit. And it's less pronounced in Virginia, of course, because of the forward-looking rates, but we have that in South Carolina. So that's kind of why you see that cadence between '26 and '27. '27, even though you have $0.08 to $0.10 from the lack of a double outage year, you're sort of gearing up for that next rate case, and you'd see potentially the impacts of that later in '28. Does that help?**Steven Ridge:** ๋„ค, ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ•œ๋ฒˆ ์„ค๋ช…๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ข€ ๋” ๋ช…ํ™•ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋‹ต๋ณ€๋“œ๋ฆด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ๋…ธ๋ ฅํ•˜๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Steven Ridge: Executive VP & CFO It's exactly that. It's a change in CI score. So one of the changes that happened is that a new GREET model was published in '26. The ultimate RNG 45Z model for '26 and beyond will be based on that. That initial GREET model suggests to us a little bit of degradation in CI relative to what we booked. Now that doesn't mean that '25 is at risk. It's not a backward-looking model in our view. We had the rules for '25. We booked this according to the rules that were in place in '25. But because of the view we have now based on the most recent model in '26 and beyond, we've sort of effectively adjusted our CI scoring to reflect that, which is why we put a $0.05 to $0.09 range around that $0.07.

Steven Ridge: Executive VP & CFO Yes. That's a great question, Anthony. So the majority of the lag we see in the composite Virginia earned ROE is related to our North Carolina segment of the business, which is quite small, but it is much more. We don't go in as frequently for rate cases and it's more traditionally backward looking for us. So that is a driver of, we'll call it, the majority of the driver of something like a 30 to 40 basis point lower than the 10.4%, so weighted average allowed that we have. And then we have another nonjurisdictional customer that kind of follows that exact same trend. So those are the drivers of it in Virginia. And in South Carolina, obviously, before we get rate relief, we've talked about at the lowest underearning part of the South Carolina cycle, we underearn as by much as 150 to 200 basis points. And so I would expect us to sort of be on that in the front half of the year. And then by the end of the year, once we get relief, we'll start closing the gap on that. And then as we look forward, we're encouraged by legislative activity like the RSA that would potentially allow us to be in -- for more frequent sort of formulaic rate cases, still backward looking, but more frequent, which would allow us to, as we've said in the past, try and about halve that run rate of 150 to 200 basis points to something closer to 75 to 100 on a go-forward basis.**Steven Ridge:** ๋„ค, ์•ค์„œ๋‹ˆ๋‹˜, ์•„์ฃผ ์ข‹์€ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Steven Ridge: Executive VP & CFO Yes, great question. So we think about the cadence of equity, about 1/3 of that total 5-year equity we expect between '26, '27 and '28, and about 2/3 in '29 and '30, which is when we see the most substantial capital increases in the business and particularly around some of that gas generation spend, which, as I mentioned before, is less cash converting, at least initially, relative to some of the other portfolios like distribution and transmission than we've got. And then with regard to alternative funding sources, we think the hybrid is such a really -- it's a really good product. I mean the market for that has been super strong. The sort of 6-ish plus -- 6-ish or so percent we can get for 50% equity credit is very attractive. As I mentioned, we're well below the prescribed maximums at both Moody's and S&P as it relates to that, even with what we have in our current plan. We'll always, as you know, consider alternative sources of financing to the extent that they're more attractive than what we've sort of laid out. So we'll maintain any optionality. But right now, we feel really good about the sort of plan we've laid out. I think it's balanced, it's achievable, and it's appropriate for our credit metrics.**Steven Ridge:** ๋„ค, ์•„์ฃผ ์ข‹์€ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Blue: President, CEO & Chairman of the Board Carly, we continue to see CVOW as the fastest way to get a significant amount of electricity at a low-cost way on for our customers who are leading the AI race, who are building ships for the Navy. And so we continue to believe it just makes sense for this project to be allowed to continue. Slowing it down, as was demonstrated with the last stop work order, adds costs, and adding costs and delays in the data center capital of the world, we think that doesn't make sense.**Robert Blue:** ์ €ํฌ๋Š” CVOW๋ฅผ AI ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์„ ์„ ๋„ํ•˜๊ณ  ํ•ด๊ตฐ ํ•จ์ •์„ ๊ฑด์กฐํ•˜๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์–‘์˜ ์ „๋ ฅ์„ ์ €๋ ดํ•œ ๋น„์šฉ์œผ๋กœ ๊ณต๊ธ‰ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋น ๋ฅธ ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•์œผ๋กœ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์ด ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๊ฐ€ ๊ณ„์† ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๋„๋ก ํ—ˆ์šฉํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ํ•ฉ๋ฆฌ์ ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๋ฏฟ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Jeremy Tonet: JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division Just want to come back, I guess, to some of the earlier points with the turbine installation [ CVOW ]. I just want to make sure I was clear. When you say early '27, does that mean like a Jan? Or does it mean a first quarter? And could you just walk through the differences between the early 2027, how that's different than the July '27 that you were referencing before?

Robert Blue: President, CEO & Chairman of the Board Yes. Jeremy, early means early. It's -- we didn't put a specific date around it. And so what we wanted to do was just give some sort of guideposts for people who can sort of think about the way this goes going forward. So if weather delays us out to July -- that's all in the current budget of $11.5 billion. And then if for some reason we're delayed beyond that, we've given you that benchmark of $150 million to $200 million a quarter. The reason we're sort of talking this way is we're early in the installation process. And if you had asked me 2 weeks into monopiles, I would have said we're not tracking with what we expect in order to hit our schedule. And by the way, remember, with monopiles, we had a season -- we had seasonal restrictions. So it was really important to be able to hit your date. And then, of course, as we went along, we ended up finishing a month or a couple months early. Similarly, with transition pieces, we started slower and then we picked up. And so we'll update on the cadence of turbine installation. But given early stages, given that it's the worst weather time of the year, it just doesn't make sense to be drawing any sort of conclusions. We still feel good about the schedule.**Robert Blue:** ๋„ค, ์ œ๋ ˆ๋ฏธ๋‹˜, '์กฐ๊ธฐ'๋ผ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ ๋ง ๊ทธ๋Œ€๋กœ ์ผ์ฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•œ๋‹ค๋Š” ๋œป์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ํŠน์ • ๋‚ ์งœ๋ฅผ ์ •ํ•ด๋‘์ง€๋Š” ์•Š์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์•ž์œผ๋กœ ์ด ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๊ฐ€ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ์ง„ํ–‰๋ ์ง€ ์‚ฌ๋žŒ๋“ค์ด ๊ฐ€๋Š ํ•ด ๋ณผ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์ผ์ข…์˜ ๊ฐ€์ด๋“œ๋ผ์ธ(guideposts)์„ ์ œ์‹œํ•˜๊ณ ์ž ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Blue: President, CEO & Chairman of the Board Yes. Look, it's -- CVOW is a really important project. It's just a few months away from delivering electricity to our customers. We ask PJM to do an interim deliverability study to determine if there are going to be any limits on the project's ability to deliver its full output. We'll do that study every year. And so we've been saying that some network upgrades that may not be done when CVOW is finished. But we'll continue to work through making sure the project can deliver as much as safely as possible. So we've assumed 50% deliverability for this rider, and we'll update it if that assumption turns out to be -- needed to be adjusted.**Robert Blue:** ๋„ค. ์Œ, ๋ณด์„ธ์š”.

Robert Blue: President, CEO & Chairman of the Board The answer is, there's absolutely room for other large customers to connect in, and they're not being crowded out.
